OK. For those of you buying into this (or disseminating it further), do any of you actually have friends and acquaintances in these countries?? Have you spoken to any of them to find out how true this is? Do yourselves a favor, and instead of listening to fat, greedy US insurance execs spewing venom from their "denial-of-coverage" pedestal, go out and speak to our NATO-allied brethren to get their take on it.
